PipeCloud offers a range of tools for welding quality assurance. You can create separate inspection work orders or use customizable meta fields to log quality checks during welding.
Welding quality is critical in pipe prefabrication. If 10% of welds fail X-ray spot checks at the installation site, the customer may demand 100% inspection — leading to costly repairs, delays, and rework.
PipeCloud helps avoid this by offering built-in tools for quality assurance. You can:
After the fitter completes spot welding, the welder can begin. In the welding bundle view, PipeCloud shows:
Welding traceability data can be entered directly in the PipeCloud welding bundle view. All traceability data entered in PipeCloud can be retrieved at any time — whether for QA audits, customer reporting, or resolving issues discovered after installation.

Alternatively, the welder can use WeldEye by Kemppi for WPS management and traceability collection. PipeCloud has integration with WeldEye, enabling you to send welding work orders directly and synchronize documentation between systems.

In PipeCloud, a project is where the rules for a job live: which work phases its spools go through, how long each component takes, which material catalogue applies and who can see it. Set it up once, and every spool imported into it is estimated and planned the same way.
A spool drawing is rarely final when it reaches the workshop. PipeCloud lets the office add notes, stamps, weld numbers and bending data directly onto the PDF, and the annotated version is what fitters and welders open from their bundle.
When a revision is coming, the most expensive spool is the one someone keeps working on. PipeCloud’s stop work blocks the affected spools across every phase and work queue, records the reason, and releases them in one step when the new revision arrives.
Shop floor problems get solved faster when they are reported where they happen. PipeCloud tickets are raised from the bundle or drawing in use, linked to the exact spools and components, and routed to the right person automatically.
PipeCloud customers using AVEVA E3D Design can now export pipe spool PCF files straight into PipeCloud with a script built together with AVEVA’s engineering team. One batch import generates the full digital spool structure, machinery programs, work orders and weld maps, cutting work-planning effort by up to 80% for one customer.
